Violence in media

Media Violence has one of the biggest impact today. Video games have allot of violence in them from shooting, fighting, to killing. Like the game Grand Theft Auto people ages 12 and up play the game and it shows killing and fighting and it teaches the younger kids that's not suppose to be playing the game to re act the action that comes from the game. If a kid was to play the game WWE (wrestling) or watch the show they may go to school and react what they have saw in the game or show. In some movies they show violent acts like killing people who have seen them kind of movies may go out and do the same as they seen in the movie. The movie Higher Learning is about a sniper innconent at a college due to racist beliefs. The Virgina Tech Shooting is a perfect example of the shooting that happened in Higher Learning except the racist part, the Virgina Tech shooter may have saw the movie and wanted to act out the guy did in Higher Learning. All news stations around the country played Columbine shooting everywhere the Virgina Tech shooter may have seen the news and may have gave him ideas to do his shooting.
